Slide client with mod_dav

["Pan, Jiantao" <ji...@labbook.com>]

Thanks Remy,
  From the following debug information, It looks to me like
  WebdavClient give method up to 5 attempts.
  The first try: The server returns 401 Authoriztion required.
  The 2nd try: The Response is empty. [But actually the folder is created,
on apache's log file. it said it returned 201]
  not aware of the success, the webdavclient give a the 3rd try. Then got
405 Method not allowed.
 
  After all this, if one use method.getStatusCode(). it will return 405.
  Please let me know if you have some idea on how to fix it.
Thanks a lot

You're supposed to get a 405 back when the collection already exists. So if
you run your code multiple times, it's normal.
However, if the collection doesn't exist, you're supposed to get a 201 back
(if the creation is successful, of course).

Is it what you see ?

Thanks for the log. Apparently the problem is that the client closes the
connection because it thinks something is wrong (instead of parsing the 201
response).

Did you try with the latest version from CVS ? Versions before M5 had some
bugs related to connection management.
